If they do anything that represents a threat to our troops, then Bush should just order their satellite connection to be shut off. He should also go on the air and suggest that the American People get their news elsewhere. With a 92% approval rating he could really use his bully pulpit to drive these people into the sewer from whence they came.

Has anyone considered that by the very fact that CNN has appointed itself as the official "casualty list" tallyman, that such reporting could inflame muslim hatred worldwide for further retaliation?

So, in my mind, truly, CNN's reporting might not just put our troops in danger when they report on our immediate military objectives, but also, to our civilian population by fanning the flames of a "holy war".

I wonder if there is a legal way to hold them accountable for treason? Personally, I'd envy the genius that could pull that off.

...another thought on this subject. Hopefully we'll "miss" with one of our GPS guided bombs again and blow up a 4 o'clock Taliban tea and cookie party with CNN in attendence.

Now we know where everyone is hiding. Obviously Osama and his boys will be in the same building that all these duped journalist will be staying in. I doubt if any of these news people will know who he is.

I say we bomb them just to be sure.

The Taliban would not have allowed CNN to enter Afghanistan unless they felt they could be used as a pawn for pro-Taliban propaganda. My guess is CNN has agreed to do just that!

After Afghanistan's ruling Taliban issued visas to the group, which includes CNN staff, the reporters entered the Afghan side of the town through Peshawar, Pakistan, at night, when a bus they and two Taliban officials were riding in crossed the border.

Well I guess we now know who's side CNN is on and why they would not wear the USA flag on their lapel.....no surprise but it's nice to have verification.

I suppose the Taliban is hoping to use CNN as a propaganda machine just as Saddam did in 1991.

Did they include Peter Arnette in their little caravan?

The alleged news reporters were met by this peaceful group of Taleban out on a picnic. Then they were escorted to view collateral damage for propaganda purposes.

Be a shame if we "accidentally" firebombed them and their cameras...

CNN!! Oh no, all our mission secrets will be compromised. Maybe they can be shot as traitors? I guess they are there to drum up sympathy for the "poor terrorists who only want to be understood!" Someone tell the Big E to send a few small little "gifts" their way.
